What we spend wouldn't cover much more than one night in a hotel, let alone travel, tickets to get in, concessions, eating out. A long time ago, when I was a young coach, I used to travel to events, shoot super 8 movie film (had to develop it), needed a movie projector, etc., then went to camcorder, etc. Now for the cost of annual fees you get to watch many events.....imagine the cost of just going to the world cup for 2 days. Flo isn't always perfect, but sometimes they are at the mercy of where they are at......just sayin'.....to each his own.....it's worth it to me!!!! And I have a huge video library from many years of doing what I just described above. Plus, been to 43 NCAA Championships, 37 in a row, closing in on 30 Big Ten Championships, 17 World Cups, many major college matches, the first USA/USSR dual in 1971, and many more. I appreciate Flo/Track.......Fadz
